Google races to find a solution after AI generator Gemini misses the mark

Bobby Allyn

Google paused its AI image-generator after Gemini depicted America's founding fathers and Nazi soldiers as Black. The images went viral, embarrassing Google.

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Google plans to relaunch its AI image generator in the coming weeks. The tool is called Gemini. But executives said the initial release missed the mark. It did weird things like refusing to show white people where appropriate and depicted Nazi soldiers as Black, which is obviously not accurate. NPR's Bobby Allyn reports on Google's race to find a solution.

BOBBY ALLYN, BYLINE: Deedy Das is a former software engineer at Google, and when Gemini came out, he was eager to try it out. He said, OK, let's see if I can make it generate photos of people in Australia, a country that is overwhelmingly white. What happened next took him aback.

DEEDLY DAS: This is insane to me that if I ask for a picture of an Australian person that you're going to show me, like, three Asian people and a Black person.

ALLYN: It also produced other weird results, like the Pope as female, NHL players as women, and 1940s German soldiers as Black. What in the world was going on here? Well, it turned out that Google was aware that Gemini's data, which draws from the entire internet, was flawed. It perpetuated stereotypes. There are more images of male doctors than female doctors. There are more photos of white CEOs than executives of color. So every time someone asked for an image, Google placed secret code into the request that basically said, make the images more diverse.

DAS: They tried to correct a problem, and they obviously made it way, way worse.

ALLYN: Das wasn't at Google when this all went down, but he says during his time at the company, he remembers something he'd hear a lot from product managers.

DAS: We need to fix everything for some narrow view of diversity, which is sexuality and race only that matters to us.

ALLYN: Google wouldn't make someone available for an interview, but Das says the, make these images more diverse, push didn't come out of nowhere.

DAS: That was meant for protection purposes, so it didn't run into, you know, the classic, you know, gorilla scandal from back in the day.

ALLYN: The gorilla scandal from 2015 is when Google's photo app was tagging images of Black people as gorillas. The incident showed how image recognition algorithms can be deeply flawed and even racist. Nine years later, Google was hoping to avoid another race controversy and in doing so ran headlong into another one, which became dubbed absurdly woke AI by the New York Post. Google CEO Sundar Pichai apologized, paused the ability to make AI images of people, and said they'll work on fixing it. Many have asked, how didn't Google see this coming? Yash Sheth is a former Google engineer. He says Google products do undergo an extensive internal study period.

YASH SHETH: But then it's still being tested on internal Googlers and, like, you know, the internal Google family, right? We're still testing with folks who are in the same bubble.

ALLYN: That insular Silicon Valley bubble bursts when the public starts using tech products in ways that Mountain View engineers didn't expect. So Nazi images were blocked, but type in 1940s German soldier and you got an image. And that has to be an important lesson for Google. As a leader in the development of new AI products, if they can't get it right for generating images then critics of the company say it's hard to have faith that they'll get it right for weightier topics like giving accurate details about a political candidate or providing credible information about American history. Maybe the relaunch of their image generator will get it right in the coming weeks. Bobby Allyn, NPR News.

MARTIN: And let me note that Google is a sponsor of NPR, but we obviously cover them like anybody else.

Which NCAA basketball teams are in March Madness 2024? See the full list by conference

By Jordan Freiman

Updated on: March 22, 2024 / 10:41 PM EDT / CBS News

The teams for the 2024 NCAA men's basketball tournament have been selected, as 68 schools square off in March Madness.

The tournament bracket consists of the 32 Division I conference tournament winners, along with 36 teams that received at-large bids from the selection committee. Prior to the start of the first round, the field is being whittled down to 64 teams as eight teams are competing in the First Four play-in round.

While each conference is guaranteed at least one team in the tournament, the bulk of the at-large bids tend to go to the so-called Power Five conferences: the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), the Big Ten, the Big 12, the Pac-12 and the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The future of the Pac-12 , however, remains murky at best, as 10 of the 12 schools will be joining other conferences in the 2024-2025 school year.

Below is a list of every 2024 March Madness team broken down by conference.

Title: hierarchical text-to-vision self supervised alignment for improved histopathology representation learning.

Abstract: Self-supervised representation learning has been highly promising for histopathology image analysis with numerous approaches leveraging their patient-slide-patch hierarchy to learn better representations. In this paper, we explore how the combination of domain specific natural language information with such hierarchical visual representations can benefit rich representation learning for medical image tasks. Building on automated language description generation for features visible in histopathology images, we present a novel language-tied self-supervised learning framework, Hierarchical Language-tied Self-Supervision (HLSS) for histopathology images. We explore contrastive objectives and granular language description based text alignment at multiple hierarchies to inject language modality information into the visual representations. Our resulting model achieves state-of-the-art performance on two medical imaging benchmarks, OpenSRH and TCGA datasets. Our framework also provides better interpretability with our language aligned representation space. Code is available at this https URL .

What the National Association of Realtors' settlement means for consumers and real estate brokers

A groundbreaking $418 million settlement announced Friday by the powerful National Association of Realtors is set to usher in the most sweeping reforms the American real estate market has seen in a century. It could dramatically drive down homebuyers’ costs — and push some real estate brokers out of business.

Here’s a look at how we got here and what to expect in the months ahead.

NAR already lost a big case

For decades, the NAR has required home sale listing brokers to provide an offer of compensation to a buyer’s agent up front. That usually comes out to about 6%, split between a seller’s broker and a buyer’s agent.

But that model has come under intensifying scrutiny from critics who have likened it to a cartel . Late last year, a jury in a Kansas City federal court found the longstanding practice to be a form of collusion that artificially inflated real estate fees, awarding a massive $1. 7 8 billion judgment against NAR .

What changes now for homebuyers and sellers

If the settlement announced Friday is approved by a federal court, the standard 6% commission goes away. Sellers would no longer have to make a compensation proposal to prospective buyers and their agents. Critics have said the encouraged brokers to push their clients toward more expensive properties.

Another new rule would see homebuyers having to sign an explicit deal with a broker before they start working with one — something experts say would lead many homebuyers to forgo using brokers entirely.

The new rules would kick in within months of approval, currently expected around mid-July.

What about the next few months?

Everyone involved in the market should expect “a certain amount of uncertainty for the coming months,” said Marty Green, principal at mortgage law firm Polunsky Beitel Green.

“The industry will be in transition as everyone digests the settlements and market forces begin working,” he predicted. “We will begin to see some creative buyer’s agent arrangements that may have been harder to get traction on before.”

Home buyers and their agents will need to decide on a commission and put it in writing. Sellers, likewise, will need to work carefully with their listing agents as the new rules come into effect.

U.S. consumers might save in the long run ...

The changes could mean buyers will save on commissions, eventually bringing U.S. fees more in line with the much lower transaction costs seen in other residential property markets around the world.

Some commissions could even be cut in half, Jaret Seiberg, housing policy analyst for TD Cowen Washington Research Group, told clients in a note Friday.

The new rules “should lead to commissions falling 25% to 50%, which we view as benefiting online real estate brokers,” Seiberg wrote, but he warned it’s too early to declare “the end of local real estate agents given their local expertise and reputation in neighborhoods. It is why we do not see this following the travel agency model in which online eclipsed local offices.”

... but buyers could face more confusion

Holden Lewis, a home and mortgage expert at NerdWallet, warned of a “potential negative trade-off”: “Buyer-seller negotiations will become more complex, and buyers with plenty of cash might navigate the process more easily than buyers who don’t have a lot of savings,” he said. Seiberg flagged a similar concern in his note, saying it could particularly affect first-time buyers with limited means to pay for an agent.

Brokers and agents have come out against the settlement, saying it will make the home-buying process more byzantine for consumers and discounts the important role agents play in helping them navigate it.

“I’m a full-service real estate agent, so when I go to list my client’s house, I align their goals with my goal, and that goal is selling for the highest amount possible,” said Roy Remick, a realtor based in Northern Virginia, who said he often pays thousands of dollars of his own for services like staging homes to aid the sale process.

“This is ultimately someone saying, ‘You guys make too much money,’ which I don’t think is right for someone to dictate,” he said.

Buyers’ agents will be left “flying blind” since they won’t know how much they’ll end up making from a given home, Remick warned. “We’ll have to make a bunch of phone calls, because now we don’t know what [the commission] is because we can’t see it in the MLS. But we’ve already got an agreement with buyer how much they’ll be able to compensate us.”
